Stripes

Out of ideas this weekend, I tried a last-minute photo on the couch using a favorite old blanket as a backdrop. The sun coming through the window turned out to be kind of interesting as well. I’m not sure if the shadows and the stripes work together or compete. I do like the color. I tried it in black and white but even though that called out the similarities in the shadow stripes and the yarn stripes, there’s something about the color version (hmm, color, perhaps?) that I prefer.

See, the photographer in me wants to turn that blanket the other way to run across the image, with your arms….. No idea how that would look but when I look at the image it is the first thing I would want to try out.

I know it’s already been said, but this is really lovely. The happy colors in the blanket, the sunshine falling over you just right. You look beautiful and relaxed and happy, which makes it all the lovelier.
